MARTINEZ, Ga. - Seniors Daria Owen (Snellville,
Ga.) and Jamie Nevin (Grovetown,
Ga.) of the Georgia College & State University soccer
team (10-6-5) were named to the 2009 Peach Belt Conference (PBC)
All-Tournament Team as announced recently by the conference office.

Georgia College lost during the semifinal round, but two Bobcats
earned spots on the All-Tournament squad. Nevin was selected for
her outstanding offensive efforts, scoring two goals in the
tourney. She scored the first goal in the quarterfinal contest
against North Georgia, where the Bobcats won 2-1. The senior netted
her second goal during the semifinals, the only Bobcat goal in that
game.

Owen was chosen for her offensive passing efforts as most
notably displayed in the quarterfinal victory. Less than 10 minutes
into the second period against North Georgia, Owen's corner kick
found the foot of sophomore Megan McAlpin
(Newnan, Ga.), who scored the game winning goal. Owen's
perfectly placed passes created many opportunities for the Bobcats
throughout the tournament as well as the 2009 season.

Despite a difficult schedule, this was the third-straight
double-digit win season for the Bobcats. Georgia College continues
to be one of the top teams in the Peach Belt, suffering just one
loss in PBC play, and landing six players to the All-PBC teams this
season, more than any other school.
